The Word on the Street

The Yowza Captiva elliptical treadmill is a great treadmill for you and your family. With the 9 different user profiles that the machine can store, changing between users could not be easier. Throw-in the fact you can change the stride status and you will be able to work out in the up most comfort.

Some users experience minor squeaks during their workouts, but nothing major. Here is what some buyers had to say:

“I’ve had it for 3 months. Works well, very quiet, very smooth. I am glad I bought the Yowza Captiva (not the Sanibel). worth the extra $500 because of the stride adjuster and incline adjustment feature. having that is a must with this machine. the LCD is only adequate, not very fancy. That is my only complaint but it’s not enough to drop down from 5 stars. I paid $1999 for it. That was a big factor. My first choices were ellipticals that cost roughly $3800 which were out of my price range (Landice).” – L. Panesi

“I can honestly say this machine is prolonging my life. Even though I would have spent more since this is important to me I am relieved I didn’t have to. After a year and a month of frequent and sincere abuse from me, my Yowza Captiva is still solid as a rock.” – PurpleThumb

“Summary: I really love the workout I get with the Yowza Captiva and its challenging but smooth variable motion, nice integrated fan, and resistance levels that I will never outgrow. Ultimately, this is the most important factor for me, so I’m happy with the purchase. More and better info in the manual or on the website would have been greatly appreciated, but aren’t that big of a deal. Time will tell how well it holds up….” – MSVT

During our testing we were positively surprised by Capativa performance although after a while we heard few squeaks that were gone after simple lubrication.
